You just buying it or sending it to another country? Why quantity? Like a lot or not so much? Life savings or holiday cash? How secure do you need it? Cash/Travellers cheque etc? You wanna get it online or in person? Are you simply looking for the best 'price' / exchange rate?
Plenty of questions, yes. Like $100 on the Iraqi Dinar which is trading at .00008, 4 more months and there debt is wiped clean by the world bank and there oil production should begin not to mention they found new Gold rich areas. Cash in person or Debt online.
For that amount my advice is to do some quick searching for a good exchange rate, for $100 USD you should (right now) get between 115,432 and 116,550 IQD, not really a huge difference. You might get a better rate, but you'll be looking at fees too perhaps, depending on where you get the cash from you'll pay either a fee or a higher exchange rate. If you really care a great deal about getting the most out of you $100 you can shop around, Google will provide plenty of places to change money, but it's a faff if you can't be bothered. Otherwise your bank will be able to help you if they do currency exchange, just look into fees first, as they can be a rip off and you'd be better with an exchange rate with no fee but a worse rate. Your final issue is that I can't imagine all places just having that currency floating around, you may have to order it in advance so bear that in mind, but then it's not a large amount so you might be alright. I'm not sure exactly of the ins and outs in the US so I can't help further really, sorry :-/
If Iraqi lops off the zeros I would have a year to exchange the currency then I can hold on to it until when ever I want but the Middle East is far from stable so I doubt I would stay in the game for too long. Not to mention every-time the currency changes I must exchange it.
